AC Milan vs Venezia: Full lineups confirmed as Luka Modric starts in Serie A 2026-27 match
Milan opened the season under a new coach with a win.
Last week’s away victory marked the start of AC Milan’s new era, and tonight, when Venezia visits San Siro, they hope to gain even more pace.
On the first matchday of Serie A, newly promoted Venezia lost, but Ruben Amorim’s debut game yielded maximum points.
Milan are aiming to rebuild under new leadership after a costly late implosion last season, and their Amorim era began with a win over Torino.
Amorim became Milan’s first manager to win in his Serie A debut in ten years, and it was Milan’s first season-opener victory since 2023.
The expectations were already high because Venezia began their top-flight comeback against possible relegation rivals after rising from Italy’s second division the previous season.
The Lagunari were defeated at home by Lecce despite setting new club records for points, goals, and victories in a single Serie B season as they returned to Serie A for the third time in six years.
In particular, record-signing Nigerian striker Akor Adams recently scored two goals in his Coppa Italia debut against Modena, setting up the team’s matchup with Udinese in the second round next week.
They will first be put to the test when they play Milan, since the Lagunari have lost all four of their league encounters over the last ten years.
